Engine Oil Level
Access the oil dipstick and fill tube from the right side of
the ATV. A rising oil level between checks in cool weather
driving can indicate contaminants such as gas or mois-
ture collecting in the crankcase. If the oil level is over the
full/safe mark, change the oil immediately.

2.
Clean the area around the dip stick.

NOTE: The dipstick must be screwed completely

the top line and the bottom line on the dipstick. Add
